Turkish woman poses as physician for 10 years

doctor A woman in Turkey has worked as a medical doctor for ten years without ever having graduated from medical school. Turkish newspapers reported this stunning story on Saturday.

The woman’s family had been putting so much pressure on her to become a doctor that she never had the stomach to tell them she had dropped out of medical school. This made her decide to fake the whole thing.

For years she left home every morning carrying her medical school books with her. After that she faked her M.D. diploma. She even had herself registered as an M.D. at the healthcare registry. After this she worked at various hospitals and health care centers.

Even her husband never knew she wasn’t a real doctor. She had in fact studied all her  medical school books to the letter. This might have allowed her to carry on with her scam for over ten years.
